String model in differential forms
Abstract
The string model in terms of the two-dimensional differential forms of arbitrary rank is formulated. The local supersymmetric string action with local conformal and Lorentz symmetries is constructed. The connection with topological quantum field theory is discussed. Covariant quantization of the model is investigated. The critical space-time dimension is found to be d=4.
